Which Linux to choose


Recommended Posts

I started using linux with Red Hat 5.2, but never really got into using it as a dedicated operating system until this past summer. I used Mandrake off and on between these times because it was easily setup from a fresh install, had loads of applications by default, and was easy to learn.

I installed Fedora last night and must admit that I am completely blown away by it. It seems to be designed to give new users a feel for the power of linux while limiting their capabilities (as a distro should, but within reason). Fedora is definitely a product I'm going to keep around for a while, and I'd even pay for it for continued use. I'm that impressed by it.

I would use the linux written by linus torvalt ;)

no seriously, check out mandrake, or SUSE (My two most favorite distros)

Ugh... TORVALDS!!

But Mandrake is definately the best I have used so far.

Debian is on the rise.

My first go at Linux was with Debian Woody.

Installed like a dream and have had only one problem

with mouse speeds but solved it easily.

Start with Debian and you won't be sorry.

Download the entire 8 or 9 CD set and install it all.

Apache server, mail server, firewall on first install without a hitch. :woot:

I'll have to second that SUSE recommendation above!

I just tried the LiveCD version on my Win2k desktop here at work, and SUSE is very well-done!
